Three of the most commonly recommended probiotics that have been clinically tested on IBS patients and shown to have moderate effect are Align , VSL#3 and Digestive Advantage. Lactobacillus acidophilus has not been shown to be effective. -------------------- STABLE: ♂, IBS-D 50+ years - Science of IBS The FODMAP Approach to Managing IBS Symptoms Evidence-based Dietary Management of Functional GI Symptoms: The FODMAP Approach FODMAP Chart & Cheatsheet The Role of Food & Dietary Intervention in IBS Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: probiotics       #361146 - 09/27/10 07:17 AM Edit Reply Quote SHERRYB Reged: 05/18/10 Posts: 39 Ok then I won't even bother to try them.

I had to try a few different brands before I settled on one that I feel helps me. I can't "prove" it helps, but I do notice a difference if I stop taking them, even for a few days. It is not "Pearls" or the other 3 Syl mentions. Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Pages: 1
